The theorem states that the N-dimensional log-coordinate cost of a vector $t$ with weight vector $\alpha$ evaluates exactly to the hyperbolic cosine of their dot product, minus 1.
2. Why it Matters in Recognition Science
In Recognition Science, the foundational scalar cost $J(x) = \frac{x + x^{-1}}{2} - 1$ measures the penalty of distinguishing a ratio $x$ from 1. When expressed in logarithmic coordinates $x = e^\theta$, this penalty takes a hyperbolic form: $\cosh(\theta) - 1$. The THEOREM JlogN_eq_cosh_sub_one establishes that this core geometric structure survives lifting to $N$ dimensions. By evaluating the scalar cost on an exponentially aggregated dot product, the multi-component cost retains the exact $\cosh - 1$ profile, bounding multi-dimensional variations structurally.
3. Reading the Formal Statement
theorem JlogN_eq_cosh_sub_one {n : ℕ} (α t : Vec n) :
JlogN α t = Real.cosh (dot α t) - 1
{n : ℕ}: The dimension of the vector space.α t : Vec n: $\alpha$ and $t$ are $n$-dimensional real vectors.JlogN α t: The log-coordinate cost function defined in JlogN.dot α t: The sum of component-wise products $\sum_{i} \alpha_i t_i$, defined in dot.Real.cosh (dot α t) - 1: The mathematical output, $\cosh(\alpha \cdot t) - 1$.
4. Visible Dependencies
The proof requires only one line: simpa [JlogN] using (Jcost_exp_cosh (dot α t)). It depends on:
- The definitional lifting JlogN which aggregates the dot product via $e^{\alpha \cdot t}$.
- The upstream identity
Jcost_exp_cosh(from the externalIndisputableMonolith.Costmodule, assumed by thesimptactic), which provides the scalar substitution $J(e^z) = \cosh(z) - 1$.
5. What this Declaration Does Not Prove
- Physical semantics: It operates purely mathematically; it does not assign a physical meaning (MODEL or HYPOTHESIS) to the coordinate vector $t$ or the weight vector $\alpha$.
- Extension Uniqueness: While the scalar $J(x)$ is forced (T5,
t5_holds), this theorem does not prove that the exponential weighted dot product is the unique valid multi-dimensional extension. - Extrema properties: It establishes an algebraic identity but does not explicitly characterize the minimal cost states of the $N$-dimensional space.
